Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Add two pinches of peppercorns.
Add 1 tsp fennel seeds. Add finely chopped onion.
Once it starts to turn golden, add ¾ tbsp turmeric powder.
Add finely chopped tomato, salt, 1.5 tbsp of ground whole spices (garam masala) and coriander leaves. Mix well.
Cook covered on medium flame with a lid till the mutton releases moisture.
Stir often. It takes around 15 minutes.
Once the moisture is released, cover and cook for 1 whistle. Mutton will be 75% cooked by then.
Once the pressure releases naturally, add drained rice, coriander leaves, and mint leaves.
Cook stirring often till the gravy becomes dry.
Lower the flame and add 2.5 cups water, 3 slit green chillies, pineapple, 2.5 tbsp kewra water, coriander and mint leaves, salt, 2 tbsp ghee and bay leaf. Mix well.
